One of the shoats would have to be killed the next day if they were to eat at all.

看来如果第二天他们还得吃东西，就只能宰一只小猪了。

My shoats had outgrown the table scraps.

我的芽长得比餐桌上的残羹剩饭还长。

These hungry men could devour the whole shoat at one meal and, if they knew of the live hogs, they could commandeer them for the army.

这些饿痨鬼会把整只小猪一顿就吃光的，而且如果知道还有几只活的，他们就会把它们征调走了。

She knew that she should kill one of the shoats but she put it off from day to day, hoping to raise them to maturity.

还得宰一只小猪，她知道，可是她一天天往后推，希望把猪崽养大了再说。

She not only begrudged them every mouthful they ate but she was on tenterhooks lest they discover somehow that Pork had slaughtered one of the shoats the day before.

她不但对于他们每吃一口都感到妒忌和吝啬，而且有点提心吊胆，生怕他们发现波克头天杀了一只小猪。

At least, she had the cow and the calf, a few shoats and the horse, and the neighbors had nothing but the little they had been able to hide in the woods and bury in the ground.

至少她还有那头母牛和那只牛犊子，有几只小猪，以及那骑马，而邻居家除了藏在树林里和埋在地底下的那点东西，就什么也没了。
